My uneducated prediction of the first round influenced by various phantom drafts such as todays article from Cal Twomey.

1.       Western Bulldogs – JUH – (Matching bid)

2.       Adelaide – Riley Thilthorp

3.       North Melbourne – Elijah Hollands

4.       Sydney – Denver Grainer-Barras

5.       Hawthorn – Logan McDonald

6.       Gold Coast – Will Phillips

7.       Essendon – Tanner Bruhn

8.       Essendon – Zac Reid

9.       Essendon – Reef McInnes (bid not matched)

10.   Sydney – Braeden Campbell (matched bid)

11.   Adelaide – Finlay Macrae

12.   GWS – Heath Chapman

13.   North Melbourne – Archie Perkins

14.   Freemantle – Brayden Cook

15.   Port Adelaide – Lachie Jones

16.   GWS – Bailey Laurie

17.   Collingwood – Nik Cox

18.   GWS – Luke Pedlar

19.   Brisbane – Blake Coleman (matched bid)

20.   Collingwood – Conor Stone

21.   Sydney – Errol Guldon (matched bid)

22.   Richmond – Tom Powell

23.   Melbourne – Jack Carroll

24.   Melbourne – Jake Bowey

25.   GWS – Nathan O’Driscoll

26.   St Kilda – Sam Berry

 

*Edit: Just realised I missed Oliver Henry entirely, will have to re-work the order again.

    5.     Hawthorn – Will Phillips

    6.     Gold Coast – Riley Thilthorpe
    7.   Sydney – Braeden Campbell (matched bid)
    8.    Essendon – Tanner Bruhn
    9.    Essendon – Zac Reid
    10.   Essendon – Conor Stone

    11.   Adelaide – Finlay Macrae
    12.   Port Adelaide – Lachie Jones (matched bid)
    13.   GWS – Heath Chapman
    14.   North Melbourne – Tom Powell
    15.   Fremantle – Oliver Henry

    16.   Coll - Nik Cox (traded for GWS in a deal not to bid for McInnes)
    17.   Collingwood – Brayden Cook
    18.   GWS – Archie Perkins
    19.   GWS -  Bailey Laurie
    20. Coll - Reef McInnes (matched bid)

    21.   Richmond - Liam Kolar
    22.   Sydney – Errol Guldon (matched bid)
    23.  Brisbane – Blake Coleman (matched bid)
    24.   Melbourne – Jack Carroll
    25.   Adel - Luke Pedlar  (28 and 40 for 25 and 50)

    26.   GWS – Nathan O'Driscoll
    27.   St Kilda – Jake Bowey
    28.  Melb  - Max Holmes 

    I suspect we trade out of our 3rd pick and then use our late pick 50 (which I've upgraded to 40) on a project tall. Callow, Rosman or other.

    im confused. So our conesecutive picks in 18 and 19 become 24 and 28?

    We'll bid on Errol Gulden,  which imo Sydney won't match the bid. Gulden becomes a Demon with our first pick. 

    Second pick will be used on Jack Carroll if available. 

    Don't be surprised if we also place a bid on Blake Coleman if Sydney match the Gulden pick. It'll be still up in the air whether Brisbane match or not.

    The Braeden Campbell bid probably determines what the Swans have left and any threat of going in to deficit next year. Overall though unless they don’t rate him the discount and ability to get a fringe top 20 player rather than a kid at the back of the draft - they’ve got to match that.

    it probably depends where a bid a comes for Braeden Campbell. Sydney don't want to go into draft deficit next year because they don't want their first round pick to move down spots like Fremantle this year, if they go into deficit there's a fair chance they won't match a bid for Gulden. Hawthorn have been rumoured to bid on Campbell, if that happens and we bid on Gulden they'd be going into deficit and probably don't match a bid. But if say Essendon bid on Campbell at pick 8 and we bid on Gulden they should have enough points to cover both so we'll be rooting for Hawks on the night to put a bid on Campbell. Gulden wold be a great get.

    My guess is we trade up the draft, possibly with Ess and grab Macrea

    No chance of that happening, Dazzle, Sydney are committed and have pointsed themselves to match bids for both Gulden and Campbell and Brisbane have told clubs they match bids in the teens for Coleman.

    We don't have the currency to get picks 6, 7 or 8 from the Bombers.

    Our 1st rounder next year is gone.

    Only inside word I've heard this year is that we're keen to trade further up the draft and we like Macrae and Stone.

    If only! I agree we should potentially bid on Gulden if he’s available.  He would be an excellent pickup for the Dees BUT imv I think Swans will definitely match (they still are redfaced over not matching the Dogs pick on Josh Dunkley father son). Coleman too. Lions will definitely match that.

    I'm a big fan of Gulden. There's a lot of Tom Papley about with his x factor and arrogance.

    He couldn’t commit entirely but Kinnear Beatson (interviewed today on the afl show) sounded very confident they’d have the points to match for both kids. I think it would take a matched Campbell bid at 5 and a Gulden bid in the top 15 or so to force them not to match.

    The Dunkley’s did a deal with Sydney that they would only accept a father son nomination if the Swans agreed to only match interstate clubs. Josh only wanted to go to Sydney if it was to avoid another interstate club, he had a strong desire to stay in Victoria. The Swans not matching had nothing to do with not rating Josh.

    It’s fine. Players can agree to be a father son or not. Clubs can decide if they want to match a father son or not.

    Which will become something like picks 21 and 23.

    The Bombers picks will fall back a spot but they arent going to trade pick 9 for 21 and 23, though I hope they do.

    I would like us to grab Caleb Poulter a potential class act apparently  Happy to take Jack Carroll, Errol Gulden and Sam Berry though.

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?
